How much does the 2022 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 12.31% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,317 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Kia Sorento a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Kia Sorento earns a 4.64/5 user rating and an 8.67/10 expert rating. The model scores 10/10 across Look and feel and Cost effectiveness.

Owners consistently praise its modern design, spacious interior, and family-friendly layout, including third-row seating. Many also like its performance and fuel economy, and the Sorento’s strong warranty adds to its appeal. On the downside, some owners wish for more storage space and note that the base model feels short on features and comfort.

That lines up with the Sorento’s use case as a stylish, family-oriented three-row SUV that aims to balance everyday practicality with a more polished feel. The trade-offs are a cramped third row and an underwhelming base engine, so it works best if you value style, features, and versatility more than maximum space or entry-level punch.

With 36.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitive offer.

Is the 2022 Kia Sorento reliable?

Owners rate it 4.64/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owners describe the Sorento as dependable in everyday use, with a reputation for being a trouble-free family SUV that people can count on. The expert evaluation also points to the Sorento’s solid construction and generous warranty coverage, which support confidence in long-term ownership. Kia’s first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the specific vehicle has been cared for well, since a strong reputation does not replace a clean history and proper maintenance.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Kia Sorento?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not guarantee a problem-free individual SUV. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you are considering a higher-mileage example or one with more equipment. Focus on condition details that matter in a family SUV: interior wear, seat function, infotainment behavior, and how well the vehicle has been maintained.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LX trim misses the larger 10.25-inch infotainment setup, while higher trims get more upscale cabin details and equipment. The SX Prestige stands out for added comfort features, and the X-Line treatment adds a more rugged look and standard AWD on the tested version.
• Powertrain: The standard 191-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder is the weakest choice, while the turbocharged 2.5-liter is the more satisfying option. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions are also part of the lineup, with the plug-in hybrid offering electric-only driving before switching to hybrid operation.
• Safety package: Kia Drive Wise is standard, but its contents vary by trim. The system includes features such as rear-seat reminder, Junction Assist, Highway Driving Assist, and Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, while Blind View Monitor is exclusive to the SX Prestige X-Line.
• Infotainment: The base LX keeps an 8-inch touchscreen, while other trims get a 10.25-inch display with navigation, satellite radio, Kia Connect services, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Wireless smartphone integration is limited to the base system, while the larger screen requires a USB connection.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbocharged X-Line test vehicle was rated at 24 mpg combined by the EPA, though real-world testing came in lower. The hybrid is rated between 35 mpg and 37 mpg combined, and the plug-in hybrid can travel 32 miles on electricity before returning 34 mpg combined.

Which 2022 Kia Sorento trim should I buy?

The 2022 Kia Sorento is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, S, EX, SX, SX Prestige.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the least expensive way into the Sorento, but it is also the most stripped-down version. It keeps the smaller 8-inch infotainment system and the base engine, so it makes sense only if your priority is getting the lowest entry price.
• S: This trim is the better starting point if you want a more usable everyday Sorento without jumping too far up the price ladder. It benefits from the broader standard safety tech and avoids some of the base-model compromises.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it unlocks the more satisfying turbocharged engine and adds more convenience and tech. If you want the Sorento to feel genuinely well equipped, this is the trim to target.
• SX: This trim moves you into a more premium-feeling Sorento with stronger equipment and a more upscale overall presentation. It is the right choice if you want more luxury and are willing to pay for it.
• SX Prestige: This is the top choice if you want the most comfort and the richest feature set, including the most advanced available equipment and the most upscale cabin experience.

Kia Drive Wise is standard, but the exact feature set varies by trim, and some of the most advanced safety features are reserved for higher versions.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Kia Sorento?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it rewards comparison shopping more than impulse buying.

• Deal availability: 36.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,317 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.31% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,566, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Kia Sorento's resale value?

The current average of $23,566 sits slightly below last year's $26,872.

That price movement suggests the Sorento has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future resale stability if you buy at the right price. If you purchase near the current market average or below it, you reduce the risk of taking the steepest early hit. Strong demand for well-equipped family SUVs can also help support values, especially for cleaner examples with desirable features.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.64/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Kia Sorento safe?

The 2022 Kia Sorento earns a Top Safety Pick rating from IIHS and a four-star overall crash-test rating from NHTSA, with four-star ratings in frontal crash and rollover and five-star ratings in all other NHTSA tests.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Kia Drive Wise is standard across the lineup, though the exact contents vary by trim. The system includes rear-seat reminder, Junction Assist, Highway Driving Assist, and Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, and the Blind View Monitor is reserved for the SX Prestige X-Line. That means you can get a lot of advanced driver assistance even without going to the top trim, but some of the most advanced features remain trim-dependent.

One caveat is that the headlights on most trims do not match the best IIHS result; the top SX and SX Prestige trims are the ones with the highest-rated headlights.

Should I buy a 2022 Kia Sorento or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 36.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.31% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.64/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds meaningful updates like the standard 10.25-inch infotainment system on most trims and expanded availability for the X-Line package.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $20,582, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $23,566 average.
• It is a redesigned three-row SUV that feels easier to manage than larger family haulers.

The bottom line: If you want the better-equipped and more updated version of this generation, the 2022 is the stronger pick. If your main goal is to spend less and you are comfortable giving up some of the 2022 updates, the 2021 is the value-oriented alternative.
